Jane Plant was first diagnosed with
breast cancer at the age of 42. The fifth time her breast cancer came
back, she was given only 2 more months to live. With three young
children relying on her she was devastated. But instead of taking the
diagnosis as a death sentence, Jane and her husband decided to research
different ways to beat her cancer.
The Discovery
They discovered that the breast cancer
rate in China was well below the one in the United States. After more
research Jane and her husband figured out that this drastic difference
in statistics was related to diet. So Jane decided to dedicate herself
to following a predominantly Chinese diet.
This includes:
- low animal protein
- no dairy
- lots of fruits
- vegetables
- nuts and pulses
Six weeks after her diet change, Jane’s
tumour had went away. While Jane felt hopeful, her oncologist said that
the tumor would return.
Yet, six years
later, Jane was struck with an epiphany: “I’m not dead — I’m still not
dead.” Those words repeated in her head over and over for the rest of
the day. And she knew she could finally allow herself to believe she had
beaten cancer.
Jane has continued to stay on this diet,
and her tumour has yet to return. 17 years after Jane’s diagnosis she
has remained cancer free, a miracle Jane attributes to her adapting an
amazing diet!
